    What does the Doc Say?

    Maybe your Doc can tell you that?   Hope you get answers  :)   Or maybe one of the gals will know... are you happy about it?  I am Triple Negative so could not take anything like that to help.

    I'm curious, too

    I had my six-month onc appointment yesterday and she said she probably wouldn't recommend my staying on Arimidex past the five years which will be coming up this summer. I'm lucky, though, I have few side effects except for the osteoporosis which is kind of a huge one. So I'll be curious to see how you do, Pat.
